So, firstly: much of the software in the archive has watchfiles. That
means that every couple of days or so the Ubuntu External Health Status
system checks whether there's a new upstream version, and emails the
maintainer. We (generally) don't need to be told about new versions.
If there's some delay (a couple of weeks or so should be right), then
it's probably worth filing a bug - or jumping on to IRC and asking about
it. Do is in Universe, so #ubuntu-motu is the right place to be. We
should either be able to give you pointers towards the right place to
ask, or pointers towards how to help update it yourself.
